Reviews"Guterson displays a fine eye for the mysteries of the human soul, creating dramatic moments that are often layered with social and historical complexities and framed by the stark beauty and terror of the natural world.... Touching moments of intimacy abound in David Guterson's short stories, resulting in a bracing collection that speaks to the heart and mind both." -- Chicago Tribune "These short stories by the author of Snow Falling on Cedars center on men in the Pacific Northwest, characters whose emotions are sometimes as isolated as the landscape. The author tracks the elements of this world with a precision that evades both vagueness and cliches." -- The New York Times

Edition DescriptionReprint
SynopsisFrom the award-winning, bestselling author of Snow Falling on Cedars --a beautifully observed and emotionally piercing collection of short stories that "center[s] on men in the Pacific Northwest, characters whose emotions are sometimes as isolated as the landscape" ( The New York Times ). Like his novel, Snow Falling On Cedars, for which he received the PEN/Faulkner Award, Guterson's short stories are set largely in the Pacific Northwest. In these vast landscapes, hunting, fishing, and sports are the givens of men's lives. With prose that stings like the scent of gunpowder, this is a collection of power., The vast wilderness landscapes of the Pacific Northwest become the backdrop for eye-opening discoveries about cruelty, aging, apathy, and the human capacity for grief and deception, in a collection of short stories.
